Main

Carlos Dave C. Dumaguit

My name is Dave and I am a PhD student in the Department of Nutrition and Integrative Physiology at the University of Utah. I am passionate about answering biological questions harnessing modern sequencing and computing technologies to unlock the secrets hidden within genomes, transcriptomes, and other large omics datasets. Some of my previous research interests include clinical psychology, men’s suicidality and depression, botany, and population genomics; currently, they revolve around diabetes metabolism and a family of sphingolipids- ceramides. When free, I enjoy volunteering as a musician and teacher. My avocations range from volleyball and rock climbing to Asian foods and gaming media.
